Air Pollution and Mortality for 60 US Cities in 1960
No full textData includes measurements on mortality rate and explanatory variables(air-pollution, socio-economic and meteorological) for 60 US cities in 1960. This data was originally published in McDonald, G.C. and Schwing,R.C. (1973) 'Instabilities of regression estimates relating air pollution to mortality', Technometrics, vol.15, 463-482.

No full textAbstract
In the prevention of variceal rebleeding, it is already established that hemodynamic response to drug treatment (decrease in hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] to 12 mm Hg or by >20%) is predictive of clinical effectiveness. In primary prophylaxis very few clinical data are available. We assessed the role of the hemodynamic response to beta-blockers or beta-blockers plus nitrates in predicting clinical efficacy of prophylaxis. A total of 49 cirrhotic patients with varices at risk of bleeding, without prior variceal bleeding, were investigated by hepatic vein catheterization before and after 1 to 3 months of chronic treatment with nadolol or nadolol plus isosorbide mononitrate, and were followed during treatment for up to 5 years. A total of 30 patients (61%) were good hemodynamic responders, and among them in 12 (24%) HVPG wa
